"Australian Architects can design structures with the form and feel of timber, now with the spanning capabilities needed in the commercial and civic space"
"100% renewable, sustainable plantation-grown timber – achieving large spans with natural beauty"
"Timber provides impressive spans with a lighter footprint than steel or concrete – and has the added benefit of sequestering carbon in the structure"
"Curved timber structures over broad spans are now a reality – with Timberbuilt Solution’s curved plywood box beams"
"Timberbuilt Solutions’ BIM (Building Information Modelling) enables us to take your 3D model so we can model the structural timber components – saving time and money while achieving your architectural vision"
"From small commercial structures (400 m2) to large (25,000 m2), Timberbuilt Solutions can provide design, engineering and prefabrication solutions for a precise installation with low on-site costs"

St Andrews Church
Case studies index
Location:Gracemere, Central Queensland
Architect:Innovarchi Pty Ltd
Builder:Close Construction
Innovative segmented portal frames form the main design elements for this structure. The plantation grown LVL and plywood construction allowed lofty ceilings within the church, connecting to outer verandahs for other building functions.
St. Andrews expressed a desire for departure from the steeply pitched roof form of the European church towards a new model, more suited to the Australian climate, and lifestyle
The Timberbuilt Solution enabled rapid construction of the structure using a light crane and assembler trades. This minimised on-site costs.
The smooth curves of the building components show the precision achieved in Timberbuilt’s prefabrication.
